The Acer’s CPU is a lot quicker, it has twice the number of cores.

This is a nice little machine as long as you understand the limitations.

The 2 cores get used up to their maximum with surprisingly little in the way of loaded apps but for light tasks it does the job very well.

If, like me you also prefer a matt display that doesn't suffer from interminable reflections, then this will be a bonus.

If you are looking for a relatively cheap, light machine with a decent sized screen for video use then this is ideal as the ac wifi and gigabit ethernet will handle streaming with ease and the HD 500 GPU will handle just about all video formats with hardware acceleration.

There are no MSATA or M.2 internal expansion slots though, so additional storage has to be external.

It's also fanless.

The Acer machine has a fan and is larger but does have 2.5" SSD expansion although you will need to purchase a special cable to enable it's use.

Voted Hot. But Windows 10 "S" is a downside for me. Still great deal though...

It all depends what you want really. If you want new, at this price point it’s really only machines like this but if you can consider used then a Dell Latitude E7440 ultrabook is achieveable for the same or less, it’ll be vastly quicker, better built and upgradable too - if you’re really handy you can upgrade the screen to a 1080p IPS panel for £40, fit an mSATA SSD alongside the hard disk and up to 16GB DDR3L RAM. The amount of ex-lease stuff that’s just entering the market and the quality is just crazy.

After experiencing eBuyers "Customer Support" I'll never ever use them again. Totally inept organisation and ignore their legal obligations under the consumer rights act. Buy from somewhere else, even if it costs more

1150 benchmark so similar to atom. That said have seen these on youtube etc for cheap chinese netbooks. My atom asus t100 does me well as a browsing and netflix laptop with great battery life (powetful laptops are useless at that). But I recently got a chromebook and prefer that esp if can get playstore apps

I had a tablet/ laptop 2in1 with the slightly more powerful Celeron n3450. I only used it for light web browsing which it could just about handle but was often rendered totally unusable by any kind of Windows update running in the background. Probably fine in a Chromebook but for running Windows I would look to spending a little more for something slightly more powerful.

Ha you are probably right! Mine is on windows 8.1 and I have turned off auto updates though recently did 500 updates in one go as was trying to see if could get netflix downloads to work on windows 8.1 (still seems to be Windows 10 only)

Not a chance, what you will get is people buying this then try some serious 4K video editing, they will say windows it pants and go out buy a £1000 mac and say how much better it is than windows.
